A little added note, Erick. This teacher has recently begun this series of shorter Java tutorials starting with Intro to IntelliJ, then Inheritance, Interfaces, Generics, Lists, and then Maps. It wouldn't hurt to at least follow these in order. I'm pretty sure he refers back to earlier videos. Hope that helps a little.

Hi Erick Luna

I've noticed here on Treehouse that the prerequisites are listed under the course description unless you have already completed the courses that are the prerequisites. I often find it a bit confusing, and some courses have them listed whether you completed them or not, but some still do it the other way.

I don't see any listed either, but I have also completed most of the Java courses. I guess just give it a go as long as you have a good understanding of Java, you should be fine.

:) :dizzy:

"I guess just give it a go as long as you have a good understanding of Java, you should be fine." <-- that would be great, if this werent part of the Beginners java course. Ben needs to stick to his android videos and stop invading the beginners courses.

To Chris,

I sadly agree haha, while I eventually understand what's going on in Ben's shorter courses, it is definitely no where as beginner friendly as Craigs for example. No useful things in the teachers notes, his examples always fall short, and assumptions are made that don't fit neatly into the beginner Java section, at least when compared to other videos.
